My Chaeto has been growing pretty slowly, not really out competing the algae in my DT. I wanted to try dosing some micro-nutrients to help speed up its growth and hopefully outcompete the existing algae. I see Brightwell has ChaetoGro which people seem to have success with, but based on their dosing instructions i'm paying 99% for water.
Is there any special different in reef micronutrients compared to freshwater? I used to use CSM+B in my freshwater tank which worked great, but it does contain chelated copper, and chelated iron and zinc which i'm not sure is still a useable form of iron in such a high pH environment. Is there a comparible saltwater product? a $10 bag of that stuff was enough for a year, where as brightwell wants $20 a month.
